Inflammatory diseases (IDs) are a general term of diseases characterized by chronic inflammation as the primary pathogenetic mechanism, which seriously affect the quality of patient′s life and cause significant social and medical burden. Current drugs for IDs include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologics, and antioxidants, but these drugs may cause gastrointestinal side effects, induce or worsen infections, and cause non-response or intolerance. Given the outstanding performance of metal polyphenol network (MPN) in the fields of drug delivery, biomedical imaging, and catalytic therapy, its application in the diagnosis and treatment of IDs has attracted much attention and significant progress has been made. In this paper, we first provide an overview of the types of IDs and their generating mechanisms, then sort out and summarize the different forms of MPN in recent years, and finally discuss in detail the characteristics of MPN and their latest research progress in the diagnosis and treatment of IDs. This research may provide useful references for scientific research and clinical practice in the related fields.

Objective:To investigate the role of platelet-derived zyxin in promoting tumor migration by platelets.Methods:The gene expression profile of platelets was analyzed from cancer patients by using the GEO database.Isolated platelets from wild-type(WT)and Zyx-/-mice were co-cultured with B16F10 cells labeled with green fluorescence to investigate the influence of zyxin deficiency on tumor cell migration,invasion,and wound healing.Optical microscopy was employed to evaluate the impact of zyxin deficiency on epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)in B16F10 cells induced by platelets.Employing specific markers to label platelets,fluorescence confocal microscopy was utilized to investigate the impact of platelet-derived zyxin on the binding between tumor cells and platelets.And an aggregometer was employed to observe the influence of zyxin deficiency on tumor cell-induced platelet aggregation.Results:Compared to platelets from healthy volunteers,zyxin was upregulated in platelets from cancer patients.Zyx-/-mouse platelets exhibited a significant reduction in tumor cell invasion and migration,impaired wound healing,and delayed tumor cell EMT compared to WT mouse platelets.Additionally,zyxin deficiency attenuated the interaction between platelets and tumor cells,and diminished the capacity for tumor cell-induced platelet aggregation.Conclusion:Platelet-derived zyxin deficiency diminishes platelet-tumor cell interactions and weakens the ability of tumor cell-induced platelet aggregation,ultimately suppressing tumor cell migration.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of the scaffolding teaching mode from the perspective of deep learning in basic nursing techniques course.Methods:From September 2023 to June 2024, 324 nursing students at Suzhou Vocational Health College in the 2023 cohort were selected as research subjects using convenience sampling. Three classes were designated as experimental group ( n=167), and three classes were designated as control group ( n=157). Control group received the traditional teaching mode, while experimental group received a scaffolding teaching mode from the perspective of deep learning on the basis of control group. Teaching effectiveness was evaluated using course grades, the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Measure Scale of Autonomous Learning Competencies of Nursing Undergraduates. Results:A total of 324 questionnaires were distributed and 324 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 100.00% (324/324). After teaching, the experimental group's nursing course grades were statistically higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05). After teaching, the experimental group's nursing students demonstrated statistically higher total scores and scores across all dimensions on the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale compared to the control group ( P<0.01). After teaching, the experimental group of nursing students scored statistically higher than the control group on the total score of the Measure Scale of Autonomous Learning Competencies of Nursing Undergraduates, as well as on the dimensions of self-management and learning cooperation ability ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The implementation of the scaffolding teaching mode from the perspective of deep learning for basic nursing techniques course enhances vocational nursing students' academic performance, academic self-efficacy, and autonomous learning competencies.

Carbon dioxide(CO2),a colorless,odorless,low-density negative contrast agent with no nephrotoxicity or allergic reactions,has seen increasingly widespread application in the field of vascular imaging in recent years,particularly in patients with iodine allergy or renal insufficiency.When combined with digital subtraction angiography,CO2 angiography has demonstrated high-quality imaging in various arterial and venous sites such as the abdominal aorta,renal arteries,iliac arteries,lower limb arteries,and inferior vena cava.It has also shown safety and efficacy in clinical scenarios such as peripheral arterial disease,dialysis access evaluation,and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures.This review systematically summarizes domestic and international research progress on CO2 angiography,outlines its physicochemical properties,injection dosages and parameters,clinical indications,and imaging characteristics,and compares its image quality with that of iodine-based contrast agents.Common complications,their mechanisms,and preventive measures are also discussed.Although the image quality of CO2 is slightly inferior to that of iodine agents,it remains sufficient for most diagnostic and therapeutic needs,with a low overall incidence of mainly mild and transient adverse effects.With the development of automated injection systems and digital variance angiography technology,CO2 imaging quality is expected to continue improving,and its application scope is likely to expand further.Future efforts should focus on strengthening multicenter clinical research and establishing standardized operational protocols to promote the broader adoption and regulated use of this technology.

Objective To propose a image processing strategy based on salient object detection algorithm for optimizing the presentation of prosthetic visual information at a limited resolution level,aiming to detect and enhance the salient objects in the scene and remove the background information.Methods A salient object detection model combining CNN and Transformer was used to extract salient objects.On this basis,methods such as object magnification,contour enhancement and contrast enhancement were utilized to optimize the image information.Psychophysical experiments were carried out at 5 resolution levels(16×16,24×24,32×32,48×48 and 64×64).Results In the simulated prosthetic vision,this image processing strategy had a remarkable effect on improving the object recognition ability of the subjects.Regardless of the resolutions of 16×16,24×24,32×32,48×48 and 64×64,the proposed strategy achieved the highest recognition accuracies,specifically 34%±6%,56%±9%,72%±9%,89%±4%and 96%±2%.Conclusion Using the salient object detection method and image processing strategy to extract and enhance salient objects can help prosthesis implant recipients effectively improve their object recognition ability.
